alright i thought i would just update this for the heck of it. maybe someone can get some usefull information out of it




so, after nearly 3 long weeks of my mercedes being in the shop, i still dont have it sitting in my driveway...

we found that the head was cracked... so we needed to buy a used head.


so today i went to pick it up and after i was overwhelmed with excitement i was visited by my good ole friend disappointment.


my mechanic walked me back to the garage where my car sat (hood still up and air filter assembly still off) and told me to go start it up and rev it.


cars running very lean and wants to stall out on when you give it gas.


other than that it runs smooth like a new car!!


once you get going the engine is fine but when you first start off it very sluggishly accelerates.

so my mechanic said if you care to wait you can... im just gunna troubleshoot what could be causing this issue.

1 hour later...


we find that the cable for the engine temp. sender had frayed wires and in the process of dismantling the head, the frayed wires touched and shorted it out.

good news is i dont have to pay for the new sender... my mechanic said it was his fault and we have paid too much money already. and he said hes sick of seeing the damn thing. xD


so HOPEFULLY i will be getting this bloody car back on monday...


it never ends.......
